Okay so i need help because i installed SystemMenu 4.1E Dark Red no spin from modmii. And When I went to The wii menu. im greeted with a blank screen. Can someone help?

spare merlin
stark void
#

i dont have priiloader

#

just bootmii

spare merlin
#

do you have bootmii boot2 or ios

#

also why tf do you not have priiloader

#

it's an essential brick prevention tool

stark void
#

i was planning on installing and i forgot

spare merlin
#

ok does bootmii load when you turn the console on?

stark void
#

no

#

blank screen

spare merlin
#

can you send a screenshot of the contents of your sd card?

stark void
#

k give a minute

spare merlin
#

...

#

do you even have bootmii

#

there's no bootmii folder

stark void
#

i went to hack mii installer and it said two options

sterile mural
#

you should have time to take when doing this stuff

stark void
#

install bootmii as ios or uninstall bootmii as ios

spare merlin
#

ooh wii.hacks.guide has been redesigned

sterile mural
#

uninstall bootmii as ios always shows. but wanna know what's worse?

spare merlin
sterile mural
#

you didn't do the nand backup

stark void
#

oh shi-

sterile mural
#

either you tried and failed, and didn't care for some reason

#

or you jumped it

spare merlin
#

the hackmii installer puts the bootmii files on the sd

#

there are no bootmii files

#

did you even install bootmii?

stark void
#

yes i did

spare merlin
sterile mural
spare merlin
#

try extracting this zip to the root of your sd card

sterile mural
#

can you upload installer.log here

spare merlin
#

i doubt it will do anything

stark void
#

im gonna continue

spare merlin
#

it's safe

stark void
#

got the files

#

its on the root

spare merlin
#

now try booting the wii with the sd card inserted

stark void
#

k

#

still blank

spare merlin
#

yeah

#

my only thought is that you could try bluebomb

#

but your wii is probably bricked

stark void
#

i think so too

sterile mural
#

given the black screen i have no hope for bluebomb

#

it just won't connect or will fail for the same reason it does with error 003

stark void
#

o

sterile mural
#

lesson learned, please do not skip several pages of the guide

stark void
#

on second thought

sterile mural
stark void
#

i should buy a new one

#

oh

spare merlin
#

i'd still give bluebomb a go

#

but it probably won't do anything

#

btw look

stark void
sterile mural
#

they will probably dip after seeing the linux requirement

spare merlin
#

wii.hacks.guide has been redesigned

sterile mural
# stark void

this log looks like you launched the hackmii installer to do nothing in it

#

or at the very least you did not touch the bootmii option

stark void
#

huh?

#

i installed homebrew

#
  • bootmii
spare merlin
#

(you didn't)

sterile mural
#

no you didn't. why do you think i asked for the log

stark void
#

oh

spare merlin
#

there are no traces of bootmii

#

it wouldn't have been able to fix the brick anyway

stark void
#

do i have to buy another wii?

sterile mural
#

yes

stark void
#

or not

#

k

#

thanks anyway

spare merlin
stark void
#

will that work?

#

or atleast help?

spare merlin
#

that will fix the wii

#

but it's a very complicated procedure

#

it's probably cheaper to just buy a new one

stark void
#

k ill try the nand fix

#

i dont wanna spend another 170€

#

but again

#

thanks alot

spare merlin
#

no, reprogramming the nand is significantly more expensive

stark void
#

o

spare merlin
#

just buy a new wii

#

it really isn't worth it if you don't already have all the required tools

stark void
#

ok ill buy a new one

spare merlin
sterile mural
#

unless you plan to dump otp somehow

spare merlin
#

good point

eager hedge
#

I have read sth about a program, i cant remember the name, that can fix bricked nand backups. Would this help here?

sterile mural
#

anyways, no. no keys

stark void
spare merlin
primal pine
#

Shouldn't bluebomb be able to bypass Theme Bricks? Unless that install was a whole new system menu

spare merlin
#

if you don't even get to the health and safety warning screen i don't think it works

primal pine
#

Doubt op has a gc controller

#

Either ios or wifi brick

stark void
#

cant i just use a nand dumper on dolphin and put it on my wii?

spare merlin
#

no

#

you need a nand that is encrypted with your console’s keys iirc

#

besides, buying the equipment to reprogram a nand is more expensive than a new wii

stark void
#

how much?

primal pine
#

minimum 130 bucks for a nand programmer

#

(dolphin can't repack nand dumps)

#

If you don't have a legit gc controller to test out recovery mode, you are better off getting a new console

stark void
spare merlin
#

please just try bluebomb, it's your only hope

stark void
#

but that install was a whole new system menu

stark void
#

i somehow have some files

#

but im sure it wont help

spare merlin
#

a keys.bin / nand.bin?

stark void
#

give me a minute

spare merlin
#

those are the only two files that could help you with an external nand programmer

#

even then, you basically need to be a microsoldering expert to use it

stark void
#

i took a little look inside apps folder

#

how

#

did

#

priiloader

spare merlin
#

none of that is relevant

stark void
#

appear

spare merlin
#

you have the files to install priiloader, but i assume you didn't bother actually installing it

stark void
#

then will bluebomb help? or work

#

?

spare merlin
#

just try it

#

there's no way of knowing unless you try it

stark void
#

ill try bluebomb

#

but i dont have linux

#

how do i do it

#

i dont have linux so ill use a vm

#

dude

#

i just saw a michael mjd tutorial

#

im testing

#

but this time

#

im installing bootmii

stark void
#

how do i do it

primal pine
#

do what

stark void
#

bluebomb

#

i dont have linux

#

and dont want to pay for vmware workstation

frosty grove
stark void
#

no

rustic oasis
#

iirc VirtualBox doesn't have bluetooth passthrough

#

bc it only worked in VMWare Workstation for me atleast

stark void
#

i dont want to pay

rustic oasis
stark void
#

really

#

ok

rustic oasis
#

yeah

stark void
#

im doing it

rustic oasis
#

but it's quite complicated

stark void
#

wait

spare merlin
#

if you read the guide, you'd know that vms aren't supported

spare merlin
stark void
#

i dont have linux

rustic oasis
stark void
rustic oasis
#

bite it

stark void
#

its 250EUR here

rustic oasis
spare merlin
stark void
#

i want to do that

spare merlin
#

please read what i send you

stark void
#

i have a USB with boot.elf file

stark void
#

I just need to fix my Wii

stark void
#

no one

primal pine
#

From the guide

stark void
#

im not using distro

#

more easier is a vm (i got a external pack for virtualbox)

rustic oasis
#

it's literally stated in the guide

stark void
#

ok

stark void
spare merlin
#

it depends on your bluetooth adapter, so vms are deemed incompatible, although they may work with some bluetooth adapters

stark void
#

oh

eager hedge
#

If you have a usb drive, just go to http://rufus.ie and doenload this program. Plug in your usb and select the iso you have downloaded. Select the drive letter from your usb drive and click on start (or flash i dont know what the english version says). Let the program finish. Restart your pc and boot from the usb drive and there you can use linux for bluebomb

stark void
#

just gotta wait til i get home

stark void
#

i got a new usb for the boot.elf file

stark void
#

?

stark void
#

well

#

it didnt work

Maybe you need to purchase a good Bluetooth adapter

#

Linux live iso could also not have your driver

spare merlin
stark void
#

i want to buy another one tho

#

ill just buy one

eager hedge
stark void
#

k

stark void
#

quick question

spare merlin
#

go ahead

#

i don't think you can at present

stark void
#

ik

#

riiconnect patcher puts nus error

spare merlin
#

yeah

#

that's why i said you can't do it at present

#

(because you can't)

stark void
#

oh

spare merlin
#

wrong thread oops

stark void
#

bruh

main mica
# stark void see?

why are you using the riiconnect24 patcher. riiconnect24 is dead. all riiconnect24 services have been migrated to WiiLink

stark void
#

Then how am i supposed To get Wii speak channel and more??

calm shard
#

you can find it on their website.

main mica
calm shard
#

I just downloaded it from NUS the same day and thought I got it from wiilink

main mica
#

I'm not sure if it needs a patch to work. I believe it can be used with Wiimmfi

#

I don't have a wiispeak so I can't really test anything. But my first thought is to get it usign NUS Downloader, then patch it with wiimmfi and try using it

stark void
#

Yea but how do I patch?

main mica
# stark void Yea but how do I patch?

i usually use usb loader gx to patch nand titles with wiimmfi on the fly. but there is a script that can patch a .wad file. then you can install the wad file and it'll just always be patched

spare merlin
stark void
#

Can i get internet channel to work too?

spare merlin
#

you can get that in system channel restorer

stark void
#

O

#

Thanks Alot ig

stark void
#

I downgraded the sys ver

#

With no brick protection

stark void
#

I just wanted to see

#

I wanted a diffrent theme

#

But my wii was hardly modded and i forgot that i modded it for to give disc updates to sys ver 4.1
